Mexican Revolution Movie Footage

[Major Weenie]

I think the years are incorrect as listed, but here goes,

Federales on the march near Vera Cruz  with both Kepis and BEF style caps

Excellent find 

[Calimero]

Nice find indeed…

BTW, I would like to see Bob Murch (from Pulp Figures) doing some Federales minis

[Major Weenie]

If I remember correctly,

Pulp makes Imperial German marines, in both pith helmet and 'BEF Style Cap.'  The rifle, equipment, etc. would work for Federales.  Although it would be a bit better maintained than all the hard use it got in the Mex-Rev. 

You'd have to putty over the boots to make them long trousers, or just declare that they were one of the unusual units that show up in photos wearing boots or puttees.

You’re right… but still that would be a good excuse to buy and paint new Pulp Figures

Ged,

And Rurales, don't forget Rurales, and sailors for Veracruz, and "The Blue Whistler," and then there's the selection of aircraft, and spies....  And the 88mm railroad artillery crewed by German 'adventurers.'  Oh, and the Chinese spies trying to raise money to send back home to promote democracy there.

You get the idea.

If you haven't viewed them yet, here's a link to some photos up on The Bengal Club.
